Stylish Security

With South Africa still suffering under rampant crime, it has become essential to ensure that your home, property and loved ones are sufficiently protected against unwanted visitors. Sadly today having a home alarm with armed response is no longer enough to be safe. You need to control the access to and from your property.

Margate Engineering has been supplying the South Coast with security solutions for over 50 years. Geoff Howard-Tripp – MD, has kindly offered to share some of his thoughts on the thorny issue of ensuring your families safety, without your home looking like a fort.

When it comes to access control Geoff and his team of security specialists strive for a perfect mix between security and beauty. For instance, galvanised palisade fencing can be painted to subtly blend with the greenery of the garden, and a driveway gate can be manufactured to almost any design and be so attractive that you almost forget it’s a security feature. With automated gate motor installations great care and planning is taken to ensure they blend in.

To round off your access control measures, Geoff recommends either the Spanish style burglar guards or Rollerstyle aluminium shutters, which protects all of your windows, not just the ones that open.

Feel free to drop in to Margate Engineering’s office on Marine Drive in Manaba or call on (039) 312 2595 or (039) 312 0541. One of the team will be glad to assist you with all your security needs or visit their website at www.margateengineering.co.za

Fencing with your security….

When it comes to your business and family’s safety more is always better. The idea of adding security for either your home or business can be a daunting task with so many options available in the market place today.

Since 1958, Margate Engineering has been perfecting the art of securing homes and offices beautifully. The company’s Managing Director Geoff Howard-Tripp explains, “When we assess a client’s security needs, we also discuss their personal taste and style so one can almost forget that you’re even looking at security once it’s installed.” He further advised that the best place to start is at the perimeter of your property with one of their stylish fencing options.

Geoff's brother Darryl heads up the fencing division and have over the years assisted not only home owners but many businesses to keep their properties safe from intruders. Darryl says: “Our factory in Manaba Beach, with its modern metal work and pipe bending machinery enable us to manufacture for almost any security or structural request, whether domestic or commercial. Thus giving Margate Engineering a competitive edge in supplying not only fencing options but the full security solutions to suite their clients individual needs. With our hot-dip galvanising process your security has guaranteed strength and durability even in the corrosive local climate. “
